Good alternative to the official Monero GUI Wallet.

Our take

A lighter, faster Monero desktop wallet that many prefer over the official client for everyday use, with the welcome bonus of Tails support for privacy-conscious setups. Being a smaller project, it asks for a bit more trust in a leaner team, though the BSD license and active development are reassuring. Pick it if the official wallet feels heavy and you want a nimble client that still keeps your keys yours.
